If you go to "My Account" -> "Gain/Loss & Tax Center" -> "Gain/Loss Reports" you should see the cost basis for each of your stocks. I assume that when dividends are reinvested, Scottrade will automatically adjust your cost basis as appropriate.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-41145989210268465972013-06-25T21:16:56.760-04:002013-06-25T21:16:56.760-04:00I too was excited about the new "FRIP" f...I too was excited about the new "FRIP" from Scottrade. My only concern is how this could potentially affect my taxes. Obviously normal dividend taxes will still apply, I'm just worried of the cost basis tracking of the dividend reinvestment in the various securities. I use Turbo Tax to import my tax info from Scottrade, however, something tells me this could cause a nightmare at tax time...

It is indeed a no commission no fee feature. Limit orders on the reinvestment would be useful feature but might start to over complicate it. I think being able to invest dividends into new positions or focus dividends into more undervalued positions will be very useful. It will also allow me to rebalance my portfolio if need be. <br /><br />About time Scottrade<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-3234053431930810532013-05-13T19:31:37.808-04:002013-05-13T19:31:37.808-04:00Dan: As far as I know, there will be no fees for t...Dan: As far as I know, there will be no fees for the DRIP, but we'll have to wait for more details to know for sure.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-17262414059146146532013-05-13T11:55:15.020-04:002013-05-13T11:55:15.020-04:00I use Scottrade and this is an interesting program...I use Scottrade and this is an interesting program.

However, it seems like it might be good to implement in my Roth IRA, where it could be several months between new capital additions due to annual contribution limits.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-30725719516582949982013-05-11T12:39:07.365-04:002013-05-11T12:39:07.365-04:00DW: I like Scottrade but I've always wondered ...DW: I like Scottrade but I've always wondered why they don't provide a DRIP option -- apparently it's been the most-requested change voiced by customers for quite a while.
